When Adobe Scan is the better choice
- You mostly scan documents and a business card now and then.
- You want every scan as a PDF in Adobe’s cloud.
Moving your cards from Adobe Scan
-
Cards already in iPhone Contacts
Cards you saved with Save to Contacts are already in Contacts. Export them from Contacts as a vCard (on a Mac: select, then File › Export › vCard).
-
Import into Kardhaus
In Kardhaus, choose Import and pick the file. vCard is read directly; for CSV you confirm the column mapping before anything is saved, and you see how many cards were imported.
